Put different shapes on top of herve leger skirts
Put different shapes on top of skirts and pants, advises Kat Griffin, herve leger one shoulder founder and chief executive of the fashion and career advice blog Corporette.com. One day wear a fitted T-shirt, the next day a flowing blouse and the next a cardigan instead of a blazer, she says.
Men should have a few solid dress shirts, lots of ties and a couple of inexpensive V-neck sweaters to wear instead of a jacket, Ms. Brucker says. If you switch looks, no one is likely to notice if the shirt and pants are the same.
Is there a particular piece of clothing or accessory that’s essential for communicating that you are successful?
A. Ms. Levine says the best accessory is confidence. “When you’re in an interview and you feel really put together,” she says, “you come across as someone who knows what she’s doing.”
Ms. Brucker agrees. It doesn’t matter if your herve leger celebrity style outfit came from Goodwill — you need to feel fantastic in it. “If you believe in what you’re wearing,” she says, “I’ll believe it, too.”
This season's clothes aren't taking their cues from club kids, college students or teenage rebels. There's something grown-up about some of the most popular looks: They're a little refined and very wearable, but they avoid being stodgy or, worse, just plain old.
Some of the influence could be coming from pop culture, with "The Great Gatsby" and "Anna Karenina" among the most anticipated movies before year's end, and the popularity of TV period pieces such as "Downton Abbey," "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire."
No flannel PJ bottoms or ripped jeans there.
Polished sophistication can be tempting after periods during the past decade that have alternately favored bohemian, aggressive and cheap bcbg dresses blingy looks.
